Method

- Step 2: Place a large frying pan on a medium heat, add the sunflower oil so that it covers the pan and is 1cm deep, adjust if necessary. Once the oil is hot, gently place 1tbsp of the mixture in the pan, loosely flattening with a spatula. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until crispy and repeat until all the mixture has been used up.

- Step 4: To serve stack the fritters and finish with a generous spoonful of the yoghurt mixture and Courgette Mezze.
